Lads outings

25th. July 2019.             Crich Tram Museum  On what turned out to be a record breaking temperatures day all across the UK and Europe  The lads have decided to take a train journey to North Derbyshire and visit the renowned venue of the Crich Tramway Village as it is now know. Here they will experience the thrills of both seeing a great collection of vintage trams and take a nostalgic ride on one of the dedicated trams operating on this particular day. To get there the lads will travel on the 9:08 train from Leeds to Nottingham, leaving the train at Alfreton and then taking a local bus operated by Littles to ferry them to the museum at Crich a journey of about twenty five minutes or so. Today’s group of lads will involve Colin Malcolm John Derek and Dave the other have different arrangements. As they arrive at Alfreton the time is approaching 10:35 and the local number 140 bus is due to leave a few minutes after 11:00.  The weather conditions at the moment

18th July 2019.             Ilkley and the riverside walk For their adventure today ,some of the lads have decided to take just a short walk along the riverbank in the picturesque town of Ilkley. The lads will number just four,  those being Colin John Malcolm and Dave. Three of us will take the train from Leeds, John making is way to Ilkley by way of bus. All hoping to meet up around 11am. This is indeed what happened, from the railway station we took the short walk down towards the riverside and began our relatively short distance stroll following the river upstream for a couple of miles or so. The weather forecast went slightly adrift with some unpredicted rain at one stage so a swift run for cover was initiated. Rain showers over we continued our walk passing through meadow land until we reached the riverside again, we followed the river for about another half mile or so before we decided to turn back , retracing some of our steps for part of the way.   Befo
